Strippers make their cash by doing lap dances for twenty bucks a shot. Not that I hang out at strip clubs or anything... okay there was the one time... for my buddy's stag... really... honest.

I've mentioned this to another poster who seems to have a tendency to attack posts that might be construed as negative: if everyone thinks the issue is good, there's not a lot of conversation on these boards about it.

I'm trying to defend a comic that I see as highly entertaining, amusing, interesting, thought-provoking, and engaging, and I grow tired of all the negativity. If there truly is no malice involved, then I stand corrected. But I perceived it nonetheless.

You call it thought-provoking, yet get on our cases because we think too hard about it?

I only find this particular version thought-provoking, btw, when it gives me nits to pick. Highly entertaining and amusing, yes, but not thought-provoking generally.

(Glad you do.)
I nit-pick, but that's based on a love of AF - which means I get all emotional and verklempt when I see 'em treated wrong. Huge mistakes made that mean that which has gone before makes no sense is part of that - like Marrina being found on the ice instead of in the water. Or the Plodex being numerous and belligerent, doing nothing but slaughtering each other - yet being capable of organising themselves into a galaxy-conquering race.

I don't care much about spelling mistakes ("You have never tasted power. Fool it now.") unless they stop me from understanding something.

I do get miffed when somebody says 'I can only turn into South American jungle animals. And now, a cockatoo.' but that's my bird-watching parentals / Aussie patriotism talking.

Um, I was already corrected in my thinking once by Kozzi a looooong time ago about this, so respectfully, lay off.

And I mean that in a positive way, Kozzi. I was wrong, you pointed it out, and I stand corrected.

And just as a sidenote, it matters to me when they misspell a character's real name when she's brand-new, because it makes me wonder which one is real or maybe if it was spelled incorrectly on purpose.
